Cuba, Netherlands Agree To Boost Cooperation
HAVANA, May 15 (BERNAMA-NNN-XINHUA) -- Cuba and the Netherlands signed an agreement Tuesday to strengthen bilateral ties and cooperation in various fields including healthcare, trade and investment, the Foreign Ministry said.
The document, signed by Deputy Foreign Minister Rogelio Sierra and Karel van Ooesterom, director general for political affairs of the Dutch Foreign Ministry, shows the two nations' common interests in promoting and developing cooperation in various fields, it said.
The pact covers trade and investment, agriculture, water resources, healthcare and biotechnology, culture and sports, among others.
Van Ooesterom began the Cuba trip Monday, following a visit by European Union (EU) official Christian Leffler to analyse the details of a possible cooperation agreement between Cuba and the EU that would replace the EU's so-called "Common Position".
